Genes affected

HECW2 (HGNC:29853): (HECT, C2 and WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2) This gene encodes a member of a family of E3 ubiquitin ligases which plays an important role in the proliferation, migration and differentiation of neural crest cells as a regulator of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)/Ret signaling. This gene also plays an important role in angiogenesis through stabilization of endothelial cell-to-cell junctions as a regulator of angiomotin-like 1 stability. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal calcium/lipid-binding (C2) domain involved in membrane targeting, two-four WW domains responsible for cellular localization and substrate recognition, and a C-terminal homologous with E6-associated protein C-terminus (HECT) catalytic domain. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with neurodevelopmental delay, hypotonia, and epilepsy. The decreased expression of this gene in the aganglionic colon is associated with Hirschsprung's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.06929434 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.9, offset of 8, new splice context is: tgtctcttgcaactttgtAGgca. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.00000975 (14/1435750) while in subpopulation SAS AF = 0.000169 (14/82604). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000102. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 9 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 29. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
